I used to use the add grain feature and then I would specify the grain to have a horizontal or verticle pattern. Now, I guess there is no more add grain tool unless you use bridge. So, I tried it in bridge and adding grain works but there is no way to make it horizontal or verticle. Is there any other toold that would do this effect?

CS6: "Filter > Filter Gallery..." then in the Texture category is Grain with horizontal, vertical and other types.
In Preferences > Plug-ins, you can enable the listing of all Filter Gallery filters in the Filter menu.

Thanks for the tip of Preferences>Plug-ins.
Now I have the Texture submenu.
However it is greyed out. Any idea why?

Check the mode of your document under Image>Mode.
You probably want 8 bits/channel and either RGB Color or Grayscale.
Some of the filters won't work on high bit depth images or certain color modes.

Spot on, R_Kelly.
The image was in 16 bit mode. As soon as I changed to 8-bit, the filter was available.
Thank you!
But why can't Photoshop give a hint, maybe with a ToolTip that appears over greyed items, saying WHY they are grey? Would save a lot of wasted time!!!

Are you talking about Filter>Texture>Grain in photoshop?
What version of photoshop are you using?
In photoshop cs6 you can get to the texture>grain by going to Filter>Filter Gallery.
